Specializes in General Practice

Lorazepam: This drug, known as a sedative is a benzodiazepine. It is very addictive and has a lot of consequences. People on this drug are often sluggish and sedate. Many scientists call benzodiazepines the pill form of alcohol. Combining alcohol and this drug can complicate both your health and your life.
